The Asian honey bee is a honey-making bee that lives across South, Southeast and East Asia. Its colonies build nests with several combs inside cavities, and it is one of the bees people in the region meet most often. It is now also found in parts of Australia and the Pacific.1

Leef in

South, Southeast and East Asia; introduced to New Guinea, the Torres Strait Islands, Australia and the Solomon Islands1

Asië

Tuis

Colonies nest in tree cavities and in a wide range of other places, both natural and man-made. Its spread in Australia is a particular concern because its nests are found in many kinds of environment.1

Wat eet dit?

Hoe om dit te herken

Adults are black with four yellow stripes across the abdomen.1
Workers have a pollen press on the hind leg and a stinger.1
Queens are larger than workers.1
Drones have larger eyes, no stinger and a blunter abdomen.1
Medium-sized, about 10 to 11 mm long.1

Word dikwels verwar met: It is very similar to the western honey bee, Apis mellifera, in size, shape and behaviour, and both build multi-comb nests in cavities. The two are separate species: their colonies differ in size, with Asian honey bee colonies holding about 6,000 to 7,000 workers compared with up to 50,000 or more for the western honey bee, and the two species do not produce offspring when they mate.1

Gifkrag

Steke

Gif kom deur 'n angel uit.

Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?

Gevaar vir mense: PynlikDit kan regtig seermaak, maar dit is amper nooit ernstig nie.

Wat doen dit as dit bang is?

Its nests have a small entrance that helps guard against invasion by other nests. When a Japanese giant hornet invades, about 500 Japanese honey bees surround it and vibrate their flight muscles until it is heated to death.1

As dit steek

Skraap 'n byangel uit en koel die plek af.
As die persoon sukkel om asem te haal, die gesig of keel swel, of hy voel flou, is dit 'n allergiese noodgeval: bel jou noodnommer en gebruik sy adrenalienpen (outo-inspuiter) as hy een het.

Bel altyd eers jou noodnommer (112, 000, 911). Dit is algemene noodhulpraad, nie mediese advies nie. Noodhulp-basiese beginsels

Bly veilig

Moet nooit aan 'n wilde dier raak, dit vang of terg nie, selfs nie 'n kleintjie nie, en selfs nie as dit lyk of dit slaap of dood is nie.
Gee dit spasie. As jy een raakloop, bly kalm, stap stadig terug en laat dit sy eie pad gaan.
As een jou steek: bly kalm, bly stil, bel jou noodnommer (112, 000, 911) of kom vinnig by 'n hospitaal uit. Onthou hoe dit gelyk het, 'n foto help.

Dit is nie uit om jou te kry nie. Dit gebruik sy gif om kos te vang of om homself te beskerm, en kruip baie eerder weg. Meer oor veilig bly

die moeite werd om te weet

Feite

Japanese honey bees can heat an attacking giant hornet to 47 °C, which is hot enough to kill it, while keeping the temperature below their own lethal limit of 48 to 50 °C.1

Its nest temperature stays at about 33 to 35.5 °C, even when the outside air ranges from 12 to 36 °C.1

It stores about a third of its nectar in concentrated form to get through harsh winters.1

Its colonies usually hold 6,000 to 7,000 workers, far fewer than the western honey bee.1

Mite-breker

Mite: The Asian and western honey bees are simply two races of the same species.

Waarheid: They are two distinct species. Their colonies differ in size and they do not produce offspring when they mate.1
